10-14-2012 Announcements

IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS this week we remember the hospitalized (Myron Schaffer and Donna Rasmussen), those who are recovering from illness or surgery, those in cancer treatment programs, our shut-in and inactive members, and our friends and relatives who do not yet know Christ.

THE LORD’S SUPPER at St. Paul Lutheran Church is administered in accordance with the Holy Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions.  It is celebrated in the confidence that we receive – in, with and under the consecrated bread and wine – our Savior’s true Body and Blood for the forgiveness of our sins.  All who commune at this altar are making this public confession of the faith that we believe and teach as is written in the Holy Scriptures.  If you are not a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church and yet desire to receive the Sacrament, please speak with the Pastor before the worship service.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CHILDREN will again be performing the Christmas Eve service.  We ask that you e-mail Amber at ambersayler@hotmail.com or call her at 925-7132 to let her know if your child/children will be participating.  We would like to know no later than the end of October so parts can be divided out accordingly and a practice schedule can be set up.  Thank you! -- Bd of Education
